It was a difficult season for Arsenal. The team finished 6th in the league – it’s worst position for over 20 years. During the season, Arsenal lost two great attacking players in Alexis Sanchez (who went to Man Utd), and Olivier Giroud (who went to Chelsea). You can see from the table below that those two guys took lots of shots. Arsenal needed to replace them to keep scoring goals. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came to the club and did just that.
